£#%&! off with what stuff; saying he’s good enough to be part of the back up crew? Look at the players who make up the 3rd and 4th choices at other clubs in the premier league, even the top ones - they’re £#%&!ing useless. Smalling is a more than good enough defender to fill that role. Apparently he’s been excellent in Italy so far.
Assume injuries to McGuire, Lindelof, Tuanzebe; who would you rather bring in to cover for a few games, Smalling or someone like Lovren, Mustafi, Ottamendi or even Jones? He’s shit on the ball, but defends well and wins headers - more so than Lindelof tbh.
